Nkrumahism now studies African history as it be studied as “the history of our society. Studying in this framework allows Nkrumahism to correctly analyze the forces of history utilizing the method of dialectics. Nkrumahism having studied its history correctly now dissects it the principles Marxism-Leninism, which it accepts universal truths. Thus Nkrumahism uses these principles to its own theories of historical materialism producing new principles for African reconstruction. [Note: see fudaa.blogspot.com under Nkrumahist-Tureist Economics. Abdurrehman.] [Note: see “Revolution and Religion” by His Excellency President Ahmed Sekou Toure. Abdurrahman.] Consequently, Nkrumahism merely sees as an instrument, thus avoiding dogmatism. Failure to understand this leads to disaster. It is like a man holding in his hands instruments preparing to perform an operation but having no knowledge of medicine. The charlatan preparing to remove a malignancy will cut our patient improperly and at random. His operation will not based on scientific knowledge, but on egotistical guess work. This unashamed imposter, who has stolen the instruments, screams to the top of his, lungs, “I am the doctor.”

Any African who accepts Marxism-Leninism must find his reality in Nkrumahism. Marxism-Leninism is the universal instrument; Nkrumahism is the scientific ideology. Nkrumahism is reality grounded in our African experience. If the African does not accept Nkrumahism we find him like our charlatan dogmatically slashing our patient, at first cautiously, then angered at not finding the malignancy; becoming more desperate, he find him killing the very patient he professes he wants to cure.

Thus we find these groups missing the boat completely. Were they grounded in the reality of Nkrumahism, they would know the “total liberation and unification of Africa under an all-African socialist government must be the primary objective of all Black [African. Abdurrahman.] revolutionaries throughout the world. It is an objective which, when achieved, will bring about the fulfillment of the aspirations of Africans and people of African descent everywhere. It will at the same time advance the triumph of the international socialist revolution, and the onward progress towards world communism.” These heretics of Nkrumahism (and consequently, Marxism-Leninism) see the primary objective of Black [African. Abdurrahman.] Revolution in America as the transformation of the American society; an obvious conclusion if one has an a-historical analysis. (sic)

We Black [African] revolutionaries, who are Nkrumahists, know that the highest political expression of Black Power is Pan-Africanism; and the highest expression of Pan-Africanism is Nkrumahism. [See fudaa.blogspot.com under Nkrumahist-Tureist Economics.] The pre-requissite of an Nkrumahist is knowledge and love of the ideas of Osagyefo. When these ideas “display themselves in moral theory and practice,” we have an Nkrumahist. We know that any ideology concerning African people, who have been maliciously scattered all over the world. During the calculated period of the disruption of our society, must consider all the component parts while maintaining “the core of the Black [African. Abdurrahman] Revolution in Africa.” We understand the death of imperialism is certain, and as Osagyefo teaches us “it can only come under the pressure of nationalist awakening.”

Brother Malcolm told us we needed Black Nationalism [African. Abdurrahman.], and Black Nationalism is African Nationalism, because the Blackman is the African and the African is the Blackman. Thus Black Nationalism is African Nationalism which finds its highest aspiration in Pan-Africanism. The ideology must go beyond mere nationalism. [See fudaa.blogspot.com.] It must establish a society where the principle, from each according to his ability to each according to his needs, is a reality. We know that Nkrumahism is the surest and fastest way to reach our goal. Especially since Nkrunahism has analyzed Africa so thoroughly with Marxism-Leninism. Our goal is to work in harmony with Mother Africa We are on safe ground. In the Mind of Africa we are told, “whereas socialism has been corrective in Europe, it has been the pristine condition in Africa in the form of communalism.” Any true African revolutionary must embrace Nkrumahism.
